The Trade Marks Episode #4 – David Kaleidoscope’s Thermos

The Trade Marks banner

David Bixenspan (or is it David Kaleidoscope?) and Dylan Hales finally return for an all-new episode of The Trade Marks in which we discuss:

  • The launch of NWAClassics.com.
  • Whoo! Wrestling’s triumphant return with the release of the A.J. Styles vs. Jimmy Rave match.
  • Hulk Hogan’s legal entanglements with Gawker, which somehow gets us sidetracked into the Silver Ant saga.

And probably more we forgot about.

The Bix Show Episode #4 – Sean Wheelock

The Bix Show banner

Sean Wheelock, the voice of Bellator MMA, joins the show to talk about growing up as a wrestling fan in Kansas City in the ’80s, including seeing Ric Flair’s first NWA World Heavyweight Title win live at Memorial Hall. We also talk about MMA, including topics related to “Is This Legal,” his book with Art Davie about the creation of the UFC, as well as intersecting topics like the effects of the death of kayfabe on pro wrestling, shoots and double crosses, what pro wrestling moves work in reality, and more. Sean is a lot of fun and I can’t wait to have him back on. Also make sure to check out Let’s Get it On, his podcast with the dean of MMA referees, “Big” John McCarthy.

P.S. I know some listeners aren’t big MMA fans, but there’s a good bit of wrestling content first and most of the MMA content here has pro wrestling overlap.
